    The built in walking foot is my favorite thing about a Pfaff. On this machine I love the needle down. If it is engaged it puts the foot up when I stop sewing so I can put my next patch in easily or adjust for curved patchwork. To put the foot down I simply start to sew again. Between the needle down and the thread cutter, paper piecing is so fast and easy.

    Hi Diane. Your presentation showing how to isolate the fringe flower without stitching out the entire design was fantastic. It provided a unique way to isolate the item you wanted and how to duplicate it to the desired amount. I am one of many that do not live near a Pfaff dealer. I have to drive four- and one-half hours to get to Annapolis Maryland, my excellent dealer. They make you feel like family. Much like what you must do at your store. Please provide more videos on the Icon 2 per month since you are so good about explaining things. Thank you for taking time to educate all that embroidery via machine. Bless you. Lorrie

    Great videos! I have this machine & love it. However...I love decorative stitches and try to use them on my quilting projects and have mixed results with the quality. The stitches like to either bunch up or spread out. Not a lot of consistency. It's almost like sometimes the machine gets"tired" of the stitch & loses concentration.

      You do not adjust the needle height, but you will need to adjust the embroidery foot height to hover just above the rope. Also you will want to slow your machine down. You can see these tips in the video at approximately 43:16 thru 44:05.
